Star Trek CCG Dream Cards AtoZ

Today: A rare Kazon card. THE ENTRIES: [41] Elanian singer stone [42] Elaysians [43] Elbrun, Tam (no card required) [44] Elected One, The [45] electroceramic Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [41] The artifact doesn't need your personnel present to stop an android. Source: "Pen Pals" [42] +3 STRENGTH for personnel with zero-G training (Melora will be in Broken Links). I know this could be played at a space location, but most space action takes place inside ships, not on their hulls. Source: "Melora" [43] The Basic Set had us covered. [44] Discard if no males in Away Team. Source: "Angel One" [45] Two [flips] from opponent's battle bridge if the Kazon shuttle actually rams a ship. Normally, the ramming "weapons" would be equal to 6, but with attribute enhancers, it could go much higher. Why this card here? Well, there are four separate ships under the Kazon ship entry, and I thought it was a shame to only do one. The fact that...

Casting Brent Spiner in a new role... THE ENTRIES: [36] El-Aurians [37] El-Baz, Shuttlepod [38] el-Mitra Exchange [39] Elamos the Magnificent [40] Elani NOTES:  [36] If a dilemma requires 2 SCIENCE, for example, you can only remove one of the SCIENCE requirements. If SCIENCE and Exobiology, you may remove either. If CUNNING>30 and INTEGRITY>30, you may make one of them >20. Source: "Rivals" [37] I've decided to give shuttlepods a limit on passengers. If the AU Doorway is ever closed, the existing El-Bazes keep co-existing, but no others may be reported. Source: "Time Squared" [38] Say an Interrupt says "nullified by Countermanda", and your opponent uses that card to nullify yours, you may reveal the event and score 5 points. If, on the other hand, they used Amanda Rogers to nullify your Interrupt, you don't score any points, but they lose 5. Source: "Conundrum" [39] Missions that require Youth (Investigate Legend, Risa Shore Leav...

Today: Some Tamarian cards...  THE ENTRIES: [31] EJ7 interlock [32] Ekina [33] Ekoria [34] El-Adrel IV [35] El-Adrel system NOTES:  [31] Reopens Airlock, Spacedoor, Secret Compartment and Holding Cell Door (the doorways that play on a ship or facility). The first three can enjoy the second function. Your treacherous SECURITY can throw two people out an Airlock, you can report two ships through the Spacedoor, and a good probe on the Compartment lets you get up to 4 Equipment cards. Source: "In the Hands of the Prophets" [32] Mercenaries are listed as such in their lore. Source: "Invasive Procedures" [33] Worth points even if your opponent solved the mission. Source: "The Quickening" [34] A little Tamarian flavor to the lore. It's not a planet/space, but you still need a ship in orbit. Note that personnel aboard the ship will not experience any dilemmas. NA counts as an affiliation in this case. Source: "Darmok" [35] Both ships do not encounter...

Another egg order is up... THE ENTRIES: [26] eggs with bacon and corned beef hash [27] eichner radiation [28] eidetic memory [29] Eiger (no card required) [30] Einstein, Albert (no card required) NOTES:  [26] By giving the bonus to O'Briens instead of Miles, the card will work for the Romulan hologram and O'Brien Founder. Female O'Briens currently only include Keiko, but let's put Molly to the list as a Broken Link. Source: "The Assignment" [27] All diseases and plagues are DNA-related if you're wondering. If a dilemma is passed, it is discarded normally, of course. Source: "The Child" [28] Unique, that is to say, you can't boost your time with multiple Eidetic Memories, but you can by stopping more than one personnel from the selected species. Players might take notes about dilemma combos, for example, or cards in their draw decks or side-decks. A later card might let you actually TAKE notes during a game, but for now, that option isn't ...

Today: Another Eddie? THE ENTRIES: [21] Edouard [22] Edwell, Captain [23] Ee'Char [24] Egg [25] eggs benedict NOTES:  [21] Café des Artistes and Champs Élysées are Program cards in AtoZ. Champs Élysées  Source: "We'll Always Have Paris" [22] I don't think we had a universal Starfleet captain. You cannot choose any classification as his second skill. Source: Referenced in "Starship Mine" [23] He can nullify the effects but not the requirements, so watch out. If he's stopped because Law x2 isn't present, I'm afraid he can't stop a personnel from dying (if that's the probe result). He can cure a personnel's loss of skills (if THAT's the probe result) even at a later date by being present with the affected personnel. Source: "Hard Time" [24] I couldn't just say a star because those little white points of light are on almost every mission card. What I mean here is cards like Test Mission, Study Stellar Collision and e...

A quick couple... THE ENTRIES: [16] Eddie [17] Eddington, Michael (no card required) [18] Edo god (no card required) [19] Edo [20] Edosian orchid (no card required) NOTES:  [16] You can force your own hologram to return to hand. You don't have to report the holographic Equipment with the Dixon Hill personnel, but you can't report WITHOUT a personnel. More than one Eddie? The ability becomes cumulative. Source: Star Trek: First Contact [17] Exists as a personnel card in The Dominion expansion. [18] Exists as a ship in the Q-Continuum expansion. [19] Both players can report a spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend to that location, as listed in the stopped personnel's lore (not in the downloaded personnel's lore). It represents a jealous lover breaking up the hug. :-) Source: "Justice" [20] My 90s self seems to have decided everything important here was covered on Plain, Simple Garak, back in the Deep Space Nine expansion. Who am I to argue? Next up: Another Eddie? Cards: ...

Today: Some First Contact stuff... THE ENTRIES: [11] Eastern Coalition [12] Eblan [13] Echo Papa 607 (no card required) [14] echo displacement [15] ECON NOTES:  [11] The AU Vulcan bit is supposed to recreate First Contact. Source: Referenced in Star Trek: First Contact [12] Each special skill is usable once per turn. Source: "The Collaborator" [13] Exists as the Equipment card Echo Papa 607 Killer Drone in the Alternate Universe expansion. [14] Source: "Basics, Part I" [15] Turning your own NA into a Fed or a Klingon isn't worth that much, but gaining an opponent's personnel without capturing, brainwashing or assimilating is pretty cool. Note that AtoZ has loads more AU NAs than Decipher's sets. Source: Star Trek: First Contact Next up: A quick couple. Cards: Enemy Coalition, Eblan, Echo Displacement, You're Going to Have to Trust Me

Get you PADDs out... THE ENTRIES: [6] early French impressionists [7] Earth guidebook [8] Earth Station Bobruisk [9] Earth Station McKinley [10] Earth (no card required) NOTES:  [6] Think you can guess your opponent's combo? It cannot have been scanned, that's cheating. If, by mistake or shuffling, the next card is yours, it counts as incorrect even if you somehow guessed right. Source: "Inheritance" [7] Of course, the personnel still needs to be an ENGINEER to use VCM. Source: "Little Green Men" [8] Personnel who have NO family relationships mentioned, even if you know they have them, are unaffected. Source: "Family" [9] Can coexist with Office of the President. One cool use: Seed a universal ship on close-by Mars (say, a Galaxy) and switch it with a unique one (like maybe Future Enterprise?) at the earliest opportunity (you'd still need an open AU Door in that example). Source: "Family" [10] Exists as Espionage Mission in the First ...

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. We turn the Encyclopedia to the letter "E" and the start of an expansion we'll call Emergence. THE ENTRIES: [1] E'Tyshra (no card required) [2] E-band emissions (no card required) [3] E-mail [4] Earhart, Amelia [5] Earl Grey tea NOTES:  [1] Was introduced by Decipher in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [2] Exists as an event in the Blaze of Glory expansion. [3] The Net is in AtoZ under B's Broken Links. Source: "Future's End" [4] She must be seeded in the Delta quadrant even if she was born in the Alpha quadrant. She's acquired like an Artifact and does not join the Away Team upon being encountered like Mirasta Yale. Look for an AtoZ card giving good use to the "'37s". Source: "The 37s" [5] Any personnel who is (or was) Jean-Luc Picard, including AU personnel like Admiral Picard and Lt. (...

As the first few AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs, I've decided to try and keep it up. These have 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 92 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 92 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 98 possibilities). Which means that every time you refresh this page, you will get a different distribution of cards! Makes a nice palate cleanse before heading into the Encyclopedia's E's. Note that The Die Is Cast Enhanced would have been 4 special packs with set card lists, and D's Broken Links would have come in a 20-card box, so those cards aren't in the booster. 

The last five Broken Links from The Die Is Cast... BROKEN LINKS: [16] Tieran [17] Timothy Vico [18] Tulaberry Wine [19] Vic's [20] Weapons Platform Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [16] Another Ilari, Demmas [D147] has the opposite-facing Nemesis icon. In this form (the only one I plan to make), he's a persona of Kes. Source: "Warlord" [17] He's a possible requirement for the Dokaran Temple Model dilemma [D249]. Source: "Hero Worship" [18] The special download on Dosi Traders [D267]. I decided not to make it exclusive to the Gamma quadrant because this was an early deal made my Quark, but it still interacts with the GQ. Source: "Rules of Acquisition" [19] The program can co-exist with that of The Dunes [D55+]. Vic Fontaine-related cards either mention him in the lore or the game text. The Program allows you to shed persistent dilemmas and opponent's events played on your personnel. Source: "Badda-Bing, Badda-Boom" [2...

Kira makes a surprise appearance... BROKEN LINKS: [11] Nyrian Vessel [12] Presidential Order [13] A baseball personnel [14] Soliton Wave [15] Spectrum NOTES:  [11] Arctic Environment [D+38] can play on this ship as a Program card. When you take a captive, it is immediately moved to this ship, even from another quadrant. Source: "Displaced" [12] The special download on Rex Denning (D155]. You can still nullify Presidential Order with Kevin Uxbridge, but you'd need another to then nullify the underlying Event. Source: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country [13] I had an extra slot to play with, and had cut baseball Kira from the B's Broken Links, so here she is! Source: "Let's Go Out to the Holosuite" [14] Donaldson [D257] can redirect Soliton Wave to another ship present, and there are two Soliton-related missions to take into account [(B206] Test Soliton Wave, which can download this card and I completely missed it, and [L97] Disperse Soliton Wave, in ou...
